Detailed Solution

The distance covered before coming to rest is 405 m.
Given that,
Uniform retardation = - 0.9 m/s2
Initial velocity, = 27 m/s
Final velocity, v = 0 m/s
Distance covered, s is unknown
We know the equation,
 v2- u2=2as
To find out the distance covered, substitute the values in the equation.
 v2- u2=2as
 0 – (27)2 = 2 × (-0.9) × s
Distance covered = 405 m
